Transilvania Restaurant was on my summer 2023 list. Took my brother for his bday. We all love the food, drinks, and the atmosphere! Delicious and authentic Romanian food. The service was great, everyone is super friendly. I visited Romania couple years ago and I felt in love with the food and country. Transilvania Restaurant met all of my palate expectations and felt like I was back at Romania .

This place was on my places to visit. Went with about 11 other people. Everyone loved their food. I had the risotto balls. They were fantastic. The shot glasses they provided with our shot of tequila was so cute!! The waitress said they were made in Romania.

Had a great time trying something new. Service is very friendly, and the food was so fresh and tasty. Loved our various smaller plates to share with the table, especially the cheese donuts, which arrive in style and aflame!! So cool! Fun drink menu, and served strong and tasty. The space is decorated with lots to see, also! Would come back to try more!

Can I give it 6 stars or 10? Wow just wow! This place was amazing. I had the beef goulash and my mom had the stuffed cabbage on polenta. My plate was clean which I try not to do.

What a great new/unique addition to this area, with an Eastern European/Romanian flavor. The service was excellent along with the food and drinks. This is definitely a destination location worth visiting. Luckily, I live down the road and will be back soon! Thank you, Transylvania!

Great first time experience. Loved it. Will definitely go back. The food and atmosphere were so good. Great people working there. The owner Alina was so kind and was very attentive to us. The food was so good. My first time eating Romanian food and was definitely not disappointed. I’m definitely going back. They have some great events coming up in April…They also have a small patio out back right near a little brook so pretty. Can’t wait for warmer weather to sit out there
